Vertex’s Brian P. Hanifin, FCMAA, Senior Managing Director, Technical Claims & Disputes, and Rachel Domingo, PSP, Director, Technical Claims & Disputes will be featured guests on the CMAA Construction Leaders Podcast in an episode titled “From Disruption to Documentation: Helping CMs Capture the Story Behind Delay.”
Hosted by the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA), the Construction Leaders Podcast brings together industry professionals to discuss practical strategies shaping today’s construction management landscape.
In this episode, Brian and Rachel explore how construction managers can better document project delays and disruptions as they occur. The discussion outlines practical approaches for capturing contemporaneous field data, distinguishing between delay, acceleration, and productivity impacts, and translating real-time project conditions into defensible records.
The conversation also highlights:
- Early warning signs that a project may be trending off schedule
- The importance of contemporaneous documentation
- Objective records that make a difference in mediation or arbitration
- Documentation habits that strengthen defensibility in dispute scenarios
